Jordan-Wolk is a two lady design team in UES NYC with a very classy line of clothes. The retouching on this was all personal choice on color tone and styling. I need the picture to seem very edgy and and still soft. This is not your average New York Housewife. But maybe the feather tattoo is more normal than I think. Definitely not the skull.

Fellinis amazing film "8 and a half" was very inspiring in my youth. I am now creating the B+W feel that I loved so much in Fellinis great films. He was an amazing artist. Now I think its my turn to create such ravishing beauty through retouching.

Walter is an ambitious man that wants a lot from his photographer. He needs images for the buyers the next day after shooting his beautiful collection. Those buyers love his brand because he has great clothes and a great photographer: Jodi Jones. I have a turn around of only 1 day for retouching all his pictures. You have to be good and fast, not just fast or good.

Jodi Jones is a talented fashion, beauty and advertising photographer in NYC that can take some great photos. She just had the Hasselblad camera in her hands last month for SHOOTNYC Hasselblad/Broncolor event. It was a huge success!

The images came out splendid and I had a great time retouching them. It was a cold day in NYC, and just as cold on set as outside. The models actually needed small personal floor heaters on set while the crew was warm in their nice jackets.

Brooklyn NY has an awesome area called DUMBO. Its funny, its means Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. But i always am reminded that it DUMB-Overpriced. I am excited to see the area from a different point. I will meet some creative people this friday in DUMBO by going to the Swiss-Miss Creative Mornings meeting. :)

I was taught in computer class, at age 16, to program C++ code. I was taught first was to say "Hello World". This is very common of the computer classes back in 2000. Very basic.
But the simplest things are the most important.

I am a generous lover, I am not a hater. (At least is what I have been told) I wanted to save China from SARS and poverty as a teenager. I now see with different eyes. Much has changed but my desire to help others and follow "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is part of my life code. It rings in my subconscious.

Cycling, running, exercise, and staying healthy has taken my life in a new direction. So I choose to dedicate my life to what I think helps us all; Getting outside and enjoying life, physically and mentally. Hopefully Christ's words "I make all things new" and meditating with the Buddha can help get me to new heights and challenges as I grow everyday, newer.

About Me

I am a kind hearted Cuban. I believe music and the arts to be important parts of my life. I was born in Miami and then lived in Atlanta, Dallas, Virginia Beach, Chattanooga, and lastly NYC/Brooklyn.BTW, Brooklyn is a nice escape from Manhattan.
